Quick questions on Dynamics and Newton's laws: equations of motion, momentum and impulse - CCEA A-Level Physics

4short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.

What is the equations of motion?
Show answer
For projectiles, treat the horizontal and vertical motions separately: the horizontal velocity is constant (no horizontal force) and the vertical motion has acceleration gg downward.
What is q1?
Show answer
A trolley of mass 2.0 kg2.0\ \text{kg} moving at 3.0 m s13.0\ \text{m s}^{-1} collides and sticks to a stationary trolley of mass 1.0 kg1.0\ \text{kg}. Find their common velocity afterwards. [3 marks]
What is q2?
Show answer
State Newton's second law in terms of momentum. [1 mark]
What is q3?
Show answer
A car accelerates uniformly from rest to 24 m s124\ \text{m s}^{-1} in 8.0 s8.0\ \text{s}. Find the distance travelled. [2 marks]
